You may want to post this question to the IMail Forum. They are pretty good about helping out. This is the Instant Messenger forum.

If I send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and that use is non-existent for that domain. Imail will send back a "bounced" mail saying something to the effect of "User does not exist". I'd like to know if that "bounced" mail can just be discarded instead of bounced back. We host over 200,000 domains total with someplace around a million+ user accounts (not all windows/imail solutions). You can see where just the simple bounce back messages would add up to a considerable amount of traffic. We can easily do this with sendmail but need to find a solution for imail. Thank you very much for your input.

Trend Micro has a solution - "IMSS" - which I believe stands for InterScan Messaging Security Suite. At any rate, we were demoing the SPS (Spam Prevention Service) which marks suspected spam as "Spam" in the header. When passing the e-mail to the IMSS server, that application would then take actions based on rules that you define. In theory, you could set up rules that affect bounced e-mail as well. You can find more information at: http://www.trendmicro.com Hope this helps. -Todd PS - the demo of the SPS application went great. Too bad the funds weren't available.

There are approximately 2000 domains hosted on each server with an estimate of someplace around 10,000 user accounts total. Given the large volume of bounced mail for unknown users, the upper management of my company would like a solution for dropping bounced mail instead of actually bouncing it. Similar to moving it to /dev/null on a *nix host. This would have to be done on a system wide level as performing at a domain level would become extremely arduous even if scripted. Does anybody know of a way this can be done?. Thank you for your time, --------------------------------------------------- Ed McAndrew Systems Administrator Advanced Internet Technologies Inc.
